| Eveready DL104 Twystick, variable focus torch | Rs. 179 | Rs. 180 | 1% | 4.1 | 854 |
| Eveready Pocketlite DL100 Torch | Rs. 169 | Rs. 175 | 3% | 4.2 | 33,326 |

| Eveready Apollo DL 20 1W LED Torch with side light | Rs. 199 | Rs. 525 | 62% | 4.1 | 21,224 |
Eveready's stated MRPs sit close to its selling prices at the cheap end and further away at the top of the range — Rs. 179 against Rs. 180 on the Twystick, Rs. 169 against Rs. 175 on the Pocketlite, but Rs. 199 against Rs. 525 on the Apollo. That is a 62-point badge spread inside one brand on one shelf.
What does not vary is the rating evidence. Six of these twelve listings carry more than 20,000 ratings each, and the shelf's single highest count — 59,071 — sits on a torch badged 20%. A small badge is not a worse deal; on this shelf it generally marks the listings with the longest rating history behind them.
The 75-88% group, and the Rs. 1,899 rung
| Listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Stated MRP as a multiple of price | Stars | Ratings |
|---|
| awza Zoomable XPE + COB LED Flashlight | Rs. 144 | Rs. 1,199 | 88% | 8.3x | 3.8 | 21,743 |

| UNZAG pack of 2 mini rechargeable LED torches | Rs. 238 | Rs. 1,999 | 88% | 8.4x | 3.7 | 98 |

| awza 2-in-1 Lithium Battery High Power Long Range torch | Rs. 254 | Rs. 1,695 | 85% | 6.7x | 3.8 | 8,999 |
| FIRSTLIKE 60 High-Bright LED Light with Android charging | Rs. 389 | Rs. 1,899 | 80% | 4.9x | 3.9 | 380 |
| FIRSTLIKE 4 Tube 360 Degree Extra Bright emergency light | Rs. 411 | Rs. 1,899 | 78% | 4.6x | 3.7 | 1,851 |
| FIRSTLIKE Electric & Solar Rechargeable, 4 tube, "80 Watts" | Rs. 411 | Rs. 1,899 | 78% | 4.6x | 3.5 | 10,154 |
Ten listings in this read state an MRP of exactly Rs. 1,899. They sell for Rs. 374 to Rs. 473 and are badged 75% to 80% — eight of them are FIRSTLIKE emergency lights. A second rung of seventeen listings states exactly Rs. 999 and sells for Rs. 268 to Rs. 641. Pricing several listings against one round reference figure is ordinary retail practice, reported here as published fact; the consequence for a shopper is that those percentages cannot be compared with each other.
These listings are not unrated. The awza Zoomable flashlight at Rs. 144 carries 21,743 ratings at 3.8 stars; the FIRSTLIKE solar four-tube light carries 10,154 at 3.5. So the choice this shelf actually poses is between a Rs. 144 torch at 3.8 stars on 21,743 ratings and a Rs. 169 Eveready at 4.2 on 33,326 — and the 88% badge on the first one does not help you make it.
Philips, Havells, Crompton and iBELL
| Listing | Price | Stated MRP | Badge | Stars | Ratings |
|---|
| Philips Tesni 5W Rechargeable LED, 15 hrs Lantern | Rs. 1,065 | Rs. 2,170 | 51% | 4.1 | 40,689 |
| Philips ROVER Mini Grey REL 6W, 1.5 hrs Lantern | Rs. 552 | Rs. 1,250 | 56% | 4.3 | 87 |
| Philips 5W Helio Rechargeable LED, 8 hrs Lantern | Rs. 1,289 | Rs. 1,999 | 36% | 4.2 | 3,624 |
| Havells Solar Lighthouse 10W, 5 hrs Lantern | Rs. 664 | Rs. 1,500 | 56% | 3.9 | 450 |
| Havells Beam 10 Li-ion Torch | Rs. 304 | Rs. 450 | 32% | 4.2 | 1,399 |
| Crompton PORTOMAX Emergency Lantern 6W rechargeable | Rs. 619 | Rs. 1,500 | 59% | 4.0 | 2,884 |
| Crompton LED 3W Ranger Pro Torch | Rs. 430 | Rs. 700 | 39% | 4.1 | 1,767 |
| iBELL HL8245S Headlamp Torch with headband | Rs. 599 | Rs. 1,050 | 43% | 4.1 | 34 |
The established lighting brands sit in the middle: 32% to 59%. Philips's Tesni lantern at Rs. 1,065 is the second-most-rated listing in the whole read at 40,689 ratings, badged 51%. Havells's Beam 10 torch badges 32%, Crompton's Ranger Pro 39%.
Prices and run-times are both published, and they do not track each other neatly. A Philips ROVER Mini at Rs. 552 states 1.5 hours; an Eveready CITYLITE at Rs. 329 states 4 hours; a Philips Tesni at Rs. 1,065 states 15. Those run-times are the listings' own claims and nothing in this read tested any of them.
150 search results collapsed to 123 distinct listings. Flipkart's search returns the same tile under more than one key, so a results page showing 150 items in this read was showing 123 products. Every price, badge, median and brand count on this page is computed on the 123 distinct listings, not the 150 raw results.
Check the stated MRP for a round repeated figure before you read the badge. On this shelf Rs. 1,899 covers ten listings and Rs. 999 covers seventeen, so those badges only measure where each price sits beneath a shared number. Then compare rupees against rating count: Rs. 169 buys an Eveready Pocketlite with 33,326 ratings at 4.2 stars, badged 3%.
Four checks before buying a torch or emergency light on Flipkart
One: look for a repeated stated MRP. Twenty-seven of the 123 listings here sit on just two round figures. Two: read the rating count before the star average — twelve listings in this read carry no rating at all, including a Rs. 414 torch badged 86%. Three: check whether the thing is a torch or a lantern; this shelf mixes handheld torches, headlamps, rechargeable lanterns and solar emergency lights at overlapping prices.
Four: treat stated wattage, lumens, beam range and run-time as the listing's claims. "100 watt", "Super Bright", "1 km range" and "15 hrs" appear on tiles in this read and nothing was bought, charged, switched on or measured. Lithium-ion lighting products should be charged with the supplied charger and per the manufacturer's instructions. Prices change without notice — check the live listing before buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do torches and emergency lights cost on Flipkart in October 2026?
Across 123 distinct listings read on 29 October 2026 (from 150 search results), prices ran Rs. 129 to Rs. 2,233 with a median of Rs. 395 and the discount badge ran 1% to 88%, median 68%. Handheld LED torches cluster between Rs. 129 and Rs. 479; rechargeable emergency lanterns between Rs. 329 and Rs. 1,752; headlamps between Rs. 599 and Rs. 641.
Why do unknown torch brands show 85-88% off on Flipkart?
Because their stated MRPs are six to eight times their selling prices. An awza flashlight selling at Rs. 144 states Rs. 1,199; a wildio mini torch at Rs. 186 states Rs. 1,499; a UNZAG two-pack at Rs. 238 states Rs. 1,999. By contrast Eveready's twelve listings state MRPs from 1.01 to 2.64 times their prices, giving badges of 1% to 62%. A stated MRP is the figure the listing prints; we report it and compute multiples from it, and nothing here alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named.
Which torch brand has the most customer ratings on Flipkart?
Eveready, by a wide margin. Its Searchlite DL95 carries 59,071 ratings, the Beacon DL 29 carries 42,518, the Pocketlite DL100 carries 33,326 and the DL30 carries 28,121 — all at 4.0 to 4.2 stars. The second-most-rated listing in this read is a Philips Tesni lantern at 40,689. Among the deep-badge names, an awza flashlight carries 21,743 ratings at 3.8 stars, so a big badge does not mean an unrated listing. Rating counts are reported as published and are not evidence of product quality in either direction.
Why do so many Flipkart emergency lights show the same MRP?
Because Rs. 1,899 is being used as a shared reference figure. Ten listings in this read state exactly Rs. 1,899 and sell for Rs. 374 to Rs. 473, badged 75% to 80%; eight of them are FIRSTLIKE emergency lights. A second group of seventeen listings states exactly Rs. 999 and sells for Rs. 268 to Rs. 641. Pricing several listings against one round figure is ordinary retail practice and we allege nothing improper; the practical effect is that those percentages are not comparable with each other.
Is a Rs. 144 torch on Flipkart worth buying over a Rs. 169 Eveready?
This page cannot answer that — nothing in this read was bought, charged, switched on or measured, and no claim is made about brightness, lumens, beam range, battery capacity, run-time, water resistance or charging safety. What the published numbers show is that the Rs. 144 awza sits at 3.8 stars on 21,743 ratings and the Rs. 169 Eveready Pocketlite at 4.2 stars on 33,326, and that the first is badged 88% while the second is badged 3%. The badges differ by 85 points and the prices by Rs. 25. Stated wattage, lumens and range figures are the listings' own claims and were not verified here.
Prices & codes last verified: October 29, 2026
Every selling price, stated MRP, discount badge, star average and rating count on this page was read from flipkart.com's own search results on 29 October 2026, logged out, from India, with nothing bought. Nothing was purchased, delivered, unboxed, charged, switched on, measured or tested, and no claim is made about brightness, lumens, wattage, beam range, battery capacity or chemistry, run-time, charging time, water or dust resistance, solar charging performance, or the electrical safety of any product. "100 watt", "Super Bright", "Hi-Bright LED", "Long Range", "Heavy Duty" and the stated run-times are the listings' own marketing words and claims, reproduced as published text and not verified, endorsed or tested by us. Lithium-ion torches and emergency lights should be charged only with the charger supplied and in line with the manufacturer's own instructions; misuse of lithium cells is a genuine hazard. A stated MRP is the figure each listing prints; we report it and compute multiples and badges from it, but nothing here asserts that any such figure is false or improper, and nothing alleges wrongdoing by Flipkart or by any brand or seller named. Pricing several listings against one shared round reference figure such as Rs. 1,899 or Rs. 999 is ordinary retail practice, reported here as published fact. Brand-level figures such as "a median 85%" are our own arithmetic over the listings this read returned for that brand — between three and twelve listings each — and are not a statement about that brand's pricing generally or its catalogue beyond this read. Handheld torches, headlamps, rechargeable lanterns and solar emergency lights are different products and are not direct substitutes for one another. Star averages and rating counts are reported as published, are not evidence of product quality in either direction, and twelve of the 123 listings carry none at all. The 150 search results were reached by Flipkart's own search and are not a census of what Flipkart sells — results vary by query, ranking, login state, pin code and time of day. Prices change without notice — check the live listing before buying. Zoutons may earn a commission on purchases made through links on this page; this does not affect what is written above.
